Finally passed after 6 years. From band 5 last year to 90th percentile this year. Can’t believe it is over after so much struggling and frustration. This process is no joke and will humble most anyone who takes it on. I am a long time lurker, and just wanted to thank all of you for your wisdom and guidance over the years, especially S2K.
